And why, do you think someone would with a CCW, who pulled their gun when threatened with a knife......would be charged with ADW? |

The LTC doesn't change the fact of the outcome. Everything would have been the same, but he would have a CCW. AWDW isn't dependant on the legality of the tool used, it could have been a hammer.

There is a point of law that a prohibited action is allowed if it was proven to protect your life. There is even an incident in LA where a kid was carrying illegally and killed the rapper Dolla who he had a beef with. Kid got off because it was decided that he was carrying because the Dolla was a legitimate threat to the kid's life.
But I wouldn't count on it for myself. I would assume that even in a righteous shoot, I'm still going to jail for illegally carrying.

Regardless, why do you think that someone who is threatened with a knife would be charged?

The story about the laundry mat seems like guy was reving his engine then the other guy pulls a gun leading to the engine rever to pull a knife. You do not pull a gun on someone for reving an engine.

Regarding your story, If the man did not move toward your brother and was say 20 yards away from him then I can see where the DA might be concerned about your brother charging him. Brother doesn't need to retreat, but immediate threat of bodily harm is the main concern here. If he was threatened, then I don't see how the charge would stick. I'm not getting the reason he was charged.

I think they would look at two things............
1. Is the shooting justifiable 2. Do you have a CCW They may find that it was justifiable but then find you guilty of carrying without a license.......depending upon your locale, you could spend a year in County Jail, or slap on the hand in more sane jurisdiction |
